Nickel Creek - House Carpenter слова песни
(Traditional, Arr. Sara Watkins / Alison Krauss)"Well met, well met, said an old true love."Well met, well met, said he."I have just returned from the salt, salt sea."And it`s all for the love of thee." Come in, come in, my own true love,And have a seat by me.It`s been three-fourths of a long, long year,Since together, we have been."I can`t come in and I can`t sit down,"For I`ve only a moment`s time."They say you`re married to a house carpenter,"And your heart will never be mine."I could have married a King`s daughter, fair,"And she would have married me,"But I have forsaken her crowns of gold,"And it`s all for the love of thee.""Now you forsake your house carpenter,"And go along with me."I`ll take you where the grass grows green."On the banks of the deep blue sea."Then she picked up a darlin` little babe,And kisses, she gave it three.Saying "Stay right here, my dalrin` little baby,"And keep your pappa company."They had not been on the ship two weeks,I`m sure it was not three,Till his true love began to weep and to mourn,And she wept most bitterly.Sayin`: "Are you weepin` for my silver and my gold."Sayin`: "Are you weepin` for my store?"Or are you weepin` for your house carpenter,"Whose face you`ll never see no more?""A curse, a curse to the sailor," she cried."A curse, a curse," she swore."You robbed me of my darlin` little babe,"That I shall never see no more."They had not been on the ship three weeks,I`m sure it was not four,When there came a leak in the bottom of the ship,And sank them for to rise no more.
